▍Important Certification profile

“CB Certification- -IEC 62619

CB Certification profile

CB Certified IEC(Standards.The goal of CB certification is to “use more” to promote international trade;

The CB system is an international system of the (Electrical Qualification Testing and Certification System) operating on the IECEE, called short for the IEC Electrical Qualification Testing and Certification Organization.

“The IEC 62619 is available for:

1. Lithium batteries for mobile equipment: forklift trucks, golf carts, AGV, railway, ship.

. 2. Lithium battery used for fixed equipment: UPS, ESS equipment and emergency power supply

Inverter specification table (shall include rated input voltage current, output voltage current and duty cycle, operating temperature range, product size, weight, etc.)

ESS specification: rated input voltage current, output voltage current and power, operating temperature range, product size, weight, operating environment requirements, etc

Internal product photos or structural design drawings

Circuit diagram or system design diagram

“Samples and certification time

UL 9540 certification is usually 14-17 weeks (safety assessment for BMS features must be included)

Sample requirements (see for the information below. The project will be evaluated based on the application data)

ESS:7 or so (large ESS allows multiple tests for one sample due to sample cost, but requires a minimum of 1 battery system, 3 battery modules, a certain number of Fuse and relays)

Battery core: 6 (UL 1642 certificates) or 26

BMS management system: about 4

Relays: 2-3 (if any)

Post time:
Jun-28-2021EU has drafted a new proposal (Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL concerning batteries and waste batteries, repealing Directive 2006/66/EC and amending Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020). This proposal mentions poisonous materials, including all kinds of batteries, and the requirement on limitations, reports, labels, the highest level of carbon footprint, the lowest level of cobalt, lead, and nickel recycling, performance, durability, detachability, replaceability, safety, health status, durability and supply chain due diligence, etc. According to this law, manufacturers must provide information of batteries durability and performance stats, and information of batteries materials source. The supply-chain due diligence is to let end users know what raw materials are contained, where do they come from, and their influences on the environment. This is to monitor the reuse and recycle of batteries. However, publishing the design and material sources supply chain may be a disadvantage for European batteries manufacturers, therefore the rules are not officially issued now.
The U.K. does not publish any rules on lithium-ion batteries recycling. The government used to suggest levy a tax on recycling or renting, or pay for allowance for the cause. Yet none official policy comes out.
Germany has a legal framework on lithium-ion batteries recycling. Like the laws for recycling in Germany, Germany battery law and end-of-life recycling law. Germany emphasizes EPR and clarifies the responsibility of manufacturers, consumers and recyclers.
